Alistair Overeem has passed his initial pre-fight drug test and will be facing former UFC heavyweight champion, Brock Lesnar at UFC 141: Lesnar vs. Overeem on December 30th, 2011, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Overeem has long been the subject of steroids, despite never failing a drug test. A majority of the finger pointing came after his move from light heavyweight, where he was a slim during his PRIDE fighting days.

UFC President, Dana White, speaking via his Twitter account, said:

“Overeem is ready to go!!! Lesnar vs Overeem is on!”

NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer also confirmed the news:

“The urine sample submitted by Mr. Overeem in the U.K. on 12/14 came back negative for all prohibited substances.”
